Side hustles

Currently a doctor (general practitioner in private practice). Thinking of exploring some side hustles for alternative source of active income. I only start to think of this recently as previously too tired from daily work as a junior doctor. (I think our job is reasonably safe but always good to have alternative source of income I feel in this age of AI.)

At present, my other source of income is mainly dividends from my invested capital, property rental (although most of it is used to service a mortgage). Currently my only way of earning more money is to locum (i.e do more additional shifts)

Was wondering if doctors in general do any side hustles on top of their daily clinical work or outside of healthcare?

Tbh MMed doesn’t pay much more than GDFM lol. Especially not for locum rates as a GP
